Jeremy: You are a brave man and it's too bad that you have to grow up in such a sick world, but change is coming for the good. One thing most do not understand is that these drones with guns and badges are not public servants. They are corporate thugs there to only protect the corporation and their pay check. The dumbing down of America has been total success, but it looks like you are on your way to enlightening the sheeple to some perspective of truth.
Google up the Criminal Justice Code of Ethics in your state. I'm sure you have such a document that all law enforcement are required to sign as well as their oath of office before they are cut loose to rob, steal and plunder their neighbors and community members.

Most of those who have responded negatively pretty much fall into the dumbed down category, so just pray that they too begin to wake up.
